Sewing laboratory manual
A 1912 sewing laboratory manual by E. L. Meldrum, published in Kansas City, Kansas, as classroom instruction for students learning garment drafting and construction. The plates are line drafts of pattern pieces—bodices, gored skirts, sleeve curves—built from ruled baselines, dashed construction lines and lettered points, with handwritten notes like "fold of paper" and "edge toward you"; useful for schematic line work, lettered diagram marks, and flat pattern shapes.
